Crj-700 flight crew reported landing at night at a non-towered airport. Upon reaching the end of the runway the exit was found blocked by a C172. A 180 turn and back taxi was initiated. After the fact it was discovered that aircraft above 60;000 pounds are not allowed to make 180 degree turns on this runway.

Narrative:
While on approach to a non-towered airport; the ca briefed the approach and chose to make a visual approach to runway 5 backed up with the ILS. The winds were reported at 180@4; so I agreed runway five was good. During approach I; as the pm; made position reports on the CTAF. While on the landing rollout; the ca opted to exit the runway at the end. As we approached the exit; we both realized there was a C172 holding short of the runway on our exit. This was at night. This aircraft was not talking on the radios. We then executed a 180 turn on the runway to back taxi the runway to exit. Once we were on the taxiway; we both realized there was a note on the 10-9 stating that aircraft over 60;000lbs are not authorized to make 180 turns on the runway. We were approximately 63;000lbs.
